Cascaded Multithreshold Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Any switching function can always be realized by a single multithreshold threshold element possessing a suitable number of thresholds. However, the practical realization of such elements often presents serious difficulties; as such it becomes more convenient to realize the given function in the form of a network of multithreshold threshold elements, each possessing fewer thresholds. In this paper, a thorough study of these networks with different modes of interconnection has been made. These discussions have been limited to constant weight (CW) networks only. Finally, a technique for obtaining the three-threshold network configuration for an arbitrary k-threshold function has also been suggested. It has been assumed that feedback loops are absent.

Using multithreshold quadratic sigmoidal neurons to improve classification capability of multilayer perceptrons
This letter proposes a new type of neurons called multithreshold quadratic sigmoidal neurons to improve the classification capability of multilayer neural networks. In cooperation with single-threshold quadratic sigmoidal neurons, the multithreshold quadratic sigmoidal neurons can be used to improve the classification capability of multilayer neural networks by a factor of four compared to comm...
متن کاملLearning Multivalued Multithreshold Functions
This paper concerns multivalued multithreshold functions, {0, 1, . . . , k}-valued functions on Rn that may be considered as generalizations of (linear) threshold functions, or as discretized versions of artificial neurons. Such functions have arisen in the context of multiple-valued logic and artificial neural networks. For any fixed k, we present two procedures which, given a set of points la...
متن کاملOn the consistency of Multithreshold Entropy Linear Classifier
Multithreshold Entropy Linear Classifier (MELC) is a recent classifier idea which employs information theoretic concept in order to create a multithreshold maximum margin model. In this paper we analyze its consistency over multithreshold linear models and show that its objective function upper bounds the amount of misclassified points in a similar manner like hinge loss does in support vector ...
متن کاملGenerating High-Order Threshold Functions with Multiple Thresholds
In this paper, we consider situations in which a given logical function is realized by a multithreshold threshold function. In such situations, constant functions can be easily obtained from multithreshold threshold functions, and therefore, we can show that it becomes possible to optimize a class of high-order neural networks. We begin by proposing a generating method for threshold functions i...
